Richard Lourie delivers a terrifying and gripping account of the hunt for Andrei Chikatilo, the "Butcher of Rostov," one of history's most savage serial killers, in Hunting the Devil. Behind the facade of a married family man, Chikatilo stalked the train stations of the Soviet Union, luring victims—at least fifty-three women and children—to their deaths through horrific acts of mutilation, murder, and cannibalism. Written with the unprecedented cooperation of lead investigator Issa Kostoev, this compelling narrative details the brilliant, painstaking detective work required to navigate bureaucratic obstacles and identify the elusive killer, culminating in a tense psychological battle that secured Chikatilo’s confession within ten days and brought an end to his reign of unspeakable evil.
